"Confined DNA: Basic Physics and Applications"
Dr. Jonas Tegenfeldt
Department of Physics
Lund University
Abstract
Confining DNA in a channel with a radius less than the radius of gyration results
in elongation due to excluded volume effects as well as due to the intrinsic elasticity of
the DNA molecule. We have explored the behavior of the DNA in simple channels as
well as in more elaborate geometries under varying conditions. I will discuss the basic
physics involved as well as potential applications.
